When my colleague debugs a web application in his visual studio instance his output window streams all of the assemblies that are being compiled, (at least I believe that is what it's doing) but mine does not. I do see the text "Ready" flashing down in the status bar intermittently which I believe is something similar to what is being du...
I'm working on a web app (ASP.NET) that has some features that require Microsoft Excel installed on the client. I'd like to disable those features if Excel is not present. Windows/IE/Excel only solutions are fine. This is not a multi-browser, multi-OS web app. Any clever JavaScript out there to accomplish this? ...
I've just chosen MoinMoin over TWiki to create a simple-but-robust web site. In addition to zero ramp-up and very basic authentication and Wiki features, I need to execute a few simple scripts that take the user's ID and email address as parameters. TWiki supported this with: [[/cgi-bin/mywiki/userscript?id=%USERNAME%&email=%USERINFO{...
I'm wondering if there is an equivalent function to PHP's call_user_func() in ASP.NET application. I'm looking to do a conversion from a PHP application to ASP.NET as a means of teaching myself the language, by taking a CMS I built professionally and trying to recreate it in this other language. The reason I need a function similar to t...
We have been doing some research into physically isolating the secure and non-secure sections of our web application into two applications. All "http" requests would be served by one server (or cluster) and all "https" requests would be served by another server (or cluster). The reason that we are looking into this is partially for the...
Related to web pages / application, what is the worst web usability error you have encountered? The one that hit you the most; that which arguably could trip the most users? Or, from another point of view, which error would you choose to be eliminated from the face of the Earth, if possible? ...
So it looks like Grails' GSP does not have an include tag (correct me if I'm wrong). The closest thing to "include" is to use the render tag. There is also the include plugin. In my case, I have a classic top-left-middle-right-bottom paned page. The top header or left side would include navigation. The middle would be the content. The r...
Hi guys, i am looking into the possibilities of doing some work for a client on Flex with a Rails backend. It ain't rocket science however i was wondering if anyone out there had some experiences with these two AWESOME technologies? Thanks in advance.... ...
I've done lots of java web development using jsps and servlets, and I have found this approach to be straightforward and flexible. Some of the groundwork involved though - such as managing database connections - is rather tedious, and it takes a fair amount of work just to get a new web app off the ground. I'm therefore considering us...
The problem I'm having with writing a web application architecture is that I want separate components that work together. By this I simply mean, for example, a navigation bar and the actual page content (as well as a header, which is static) in ASP.NET. Now, here's where it gets interesting: There are no two pages the same The naviga...
I have built a webcrawler in C++. I am using an API called URLdownloadToFile(). Is there any other API that can be used? The API URLdownloadToFile() is working well for some URLs and it is not working well for some other URLs? Please suggest some ways I can overcome this problem? Thanks, Dnyaneshwari C. ...
I have defined several application parameters for my webapp in the web.xml file, as follows: <context-param> <param-name>smtpHost</param-name> <param-value>smtp.gmail.com</param-value> </context-param> If I have a ServletContext Object object available, I can access them easily . For example in my Struts action classes. Ser...
For example: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/396164/exposing-database-ids-security-risk and http://stackoverflow.com/questions/396164/blah-blah loads the same question. (I guess this is DB id of Questions table? Is this standard in ASP.NET?) What are the pros and cons of using this type of scheme in your web app? ...
I use cvs to maintain all my python snippets, notes, c, c++ code. As the hosting provider provides a public web- server also, I was thinking that I should convert the cvs automatically to a programming snippets website. cvsweb is not what I mean. doxygen is for a complete project and to browse the self-referencing codes online.I think...
You see a fair bit (in the Geek community anyway) about OpenID. It seems like a good idea. I'm developing a website that will be targeted at a somewhat less geeky audience (but not quite Mom and Pops either) so I have to wonder if OpenID is going to be "too hard" for some audiences. What do you think? That aside, are there any other ...

Hello, Has anyone got any suggestions on how I can create a very simple graph for a web application? It is to show energy consumption levels per month for a year at a time. So basically I want it to look like (assuming my ASCII works) -- \ -- Yeah it doesn't so I've changed my open id image to the sample http://mrbrutal.myo...
Does anyone know a good web based meeting solution that allows for live screencasting to meeting participants? We don't mind installing software on the local machines but the views of the meeting don't have that flexibility so they would require a browser based solution ...
What do you do when your manager wants you to implement something in a quick and dirty way and you just know it's going to backfire? My manager wants me to develop a web app for a client and to do it as quickly as possible. This is the first web app we're building for this client, and I think it's important that we do it right so that ...
